How to Iron Linen Shirts and Pants How to Iron Linen Shirts and Pants How to Iron Linen Shirts and Pants Getty Images By Mary Marlowe Leverette Updated September 10, 2016. Linen shirts, pants and dresses are perfect choices to wear during humid, hot weather. The natural flax fibers help to wick moisture away from the skin. Linen clothes can be made from light to heavyweight woven fabrics and will wear well if handled correctly. Most linen clothing will shrink slightly when washed so consider that as you purchase clothes. Linen fabrics are washable but you may see clothes that have a dry clean only tag. If the linen garment is structured - like a jacket - or lined, you should heed the dry cleaning instructions. While the linen is washable, the inner linings or materials used to help a jacket keep its shape may not be washable. Water and agitation may cause those materials to shrink and become misshapen. That damage can not be reversed. After linen is washed at home, it should not be dried on high heat which causes fibers to shrink together and break.

Instead, air dry on a padded hanger to prevent creases or tumble only briefly in a dryer set on a low heat temperature. continue reading below our video How to Iron Table Linens Required Tools For Ironing Linen Clothes Spray bottle . Linen is nearly impossible to iron unless it is damp. Fill an inexpensive spray bottle with clean water to dampen the clothes. A good quality steam iron . High heat and plenty of steam are essential for ironing linen. Your iron should able to produce both. A spray feature is also helpful for those areas that need even more dampness. Sturdy ironing board . Ironing linen requires steady, even strokes. That's hard to do if the ironing surface is wobbly or small. If you don't have a good ironing board, follow these tips for ironing on other surfaces . Pressing Cloth . It is always important to have a buffer between the hot iron and the linen fibers to prevent flattening them to the point of creating a shine. Tips for Successfully Ironing Linen Pants and Shirts At least five or ten minutes before ironing linen clothes, give them a good spritz with plain cool water. Pay particular attention to shirt collars, cuffs, pocket flaps and button plackets.

Roll the garment loosely and let the moisture penetrate the linen fibers. Set the steam iron on the cotton/linen setting or high heat . Be sure the iron's faceplate and water tank are clean and that the tank is filled with water. No one needs rusty water or sticky residue on clean linen. If your ironing board cover is wearing thin or has heavy staining, use an old terry cloth towel under the linen. This will pad the surface, protect any buttons on the garment and give you a clean finish. Padding is particularly important if there is embroidery on the linen. Always iron on the wrong side and iron the embroidered area first. Start with the heavier areas of the shirt or pants first (collars, cuffs, waistbands) and use a bit more water if necessary to get a smooth finish. Keep the iron moving constantly and smoothly to prevent scorching. Staying too long in one spot can bring a disaster. As you iron , gently stretch the garment to square corners and even edges. While the fabric is damp and hot, you can reshape crumpled areas. Press linen clothes on the wrong side or use a pressing cloth to prevent shiny spots. This is particularly important with darker colors.

Use spray-on starch or fabric sizing for areas like collars and cuffs that you want particularly crisp. The starch also helps to protect the linen from stains. When ironing is complete, hang the garment in an uncrowded space to dry completely. Wait at least ten to fifteen minutes before putting on the freshly ironed piece to allow the fibers to cool and relax. Wearing linen while damp will cause excess creasing. 5 Tips to Avoid Having to Iron Linen Clothes Adopt the relaxed look. The more often linen is worn and washed, the softer and more supple it will become. Skip the clothes dryer. After linen clothes are removed from the washer, shake well to remove wrinkles. Hang on a padded hanger or lay the garment flat on a towel. While the fabric is wet, gently pull the seams, hems and any misshapen areas to smooth. Use a clothes steamer . You won't get a crisp look but the steamer will remove sharp creases and heavy wrinkles. Always test wrinkle relaxing fabric sprays on an inside hem before using. Some can cause spotting and staining on linen, especially on dark colors. Avoid folding linen clothes. Hang in a closet with plenty of room to prevent wrinkling from overcrowding.

Select the Correct Ironing Temperature for All Fabrics By Mary Marlowe Leverette Updated January 15, 2017. One of the essential things to learn before ironing clothes is the correct temperature setting for the type of fabric. Selecting the correct temperature on an iron can make the difference between ease and disaster. The right temperature selection will make ironing easier, quicker and give more professional results. The wrong temperature can mean more work or, at worst, a burn hole that can not be repaired. During college, I watched a friend do the final pressing on a beautiful gown she had made only to burn a huge hole right on the front of the gown. She had the iron setting too high. Total. Disaster. Fortunately, one of the features on most irons is a sliding scale that indicates the correct temperature setting for different types of fabric. As a reference, I am using a scale of 1 to 7 - 1 being cool, 7 being very hot. While all irons differ in temperature by manufacturer, here is a basic guideline of proper temperatures for ironing different types of fabric along with some helpful tips: continue reading below our video Red Wine? No Problem.

5 Secret Stain-Busting Fixes Ironing Temperature Guidelines for Fabrics Fabric 3 Use a damp pressing cloth between iron and fabric. Iron on the wrong side of the fabric.

Ironing Temperatures in Fahrenheit and Celsius If your iron uses a different scale or you want to know more exacting temperatures for ironing different types of fabric, follow these guidelines: Linen: 230 °C (445 °F) Triacetate: 200 °C (390 °F) Cotton: 204 °C (400 °F) Viscose/Rayon: 190 °C (375 °F) Wool: 148 °C (300 °F) Polyester: 148 °C (300 °F) Silk: 148 °C (300 °F) Acetate: 143 °C (290 °F) Acrylic: 135 °C (275 °F) Lycra/Spandex: 135 °C (275 °F) Nylon: 135 °C (275 °F) How To Manage The Temperature Of Your Iron Unless you are only ironing a single garment, before you begin ironing separate your clothing by type of fabric.

Start by ironing the items that require the lowest temperature - acetate, nylon - then move to silks, polyester, and other synthetic fabrics. Finally, iron cotton and linen fabrics. If you must switch back to a lower iron temperature, give your iron at least five minutes to cool down before using. You'll be glad you did! How to Properly Iron Shirts, Pants, and Skirts How to Properly Iron Shirts, Pants, and Skirts Go to permalink Ironing clothes is one of those tasks that has a tendency to be a bit terrifying, but worry not, it just seems overly complicated. Here, we'll break it down into the three simplest, most common cases: Shirts, pants, and skirts. Some fabric types might need special attention, but other than that it's all pretty much the same. What You'll Need: A clean iron (without rust or burnt starch, because that ruins clothes!) An ironing board A bit of water, preferably in a spray bottle Some light starch if you like to use it Yes, an ironing board really is necessary. "Any old flat surface" can do in a pinch, but that's more of an emergency measure than anything else.

Ironing boards are specially made to make the job easier, but more than that, they're wrapped in special material that's not only flame retardant, but also breathable so that steam is able to escape from underneath the item you're ironing. Shirts Ironing shirts is quicker and easier than you might think. Like T.M. Lewin says in the video above, it should only take an average of three minutes to properly iron a shirt, and that's doing it the right way. Advertisement Advertisement It's best to start with the sleeves, since they'll be just fine hanging off the sides of the ironing board while you finish the rest of the shirt. Doing it the other way around, and leaving the sleeves for last, will end up causing wrinkles in other parts of the shirt that you've already ironed. Open the cuffs! This is something that many ironing newcomers get wrong all the time, but it's not just easier to open the cuffs and lay them flat, but it lets you do a better job ironing the whole sleeve, too. When doing the collar of the shirt, make sure you open it up and lay it flat.

Just like the cuffs, people tend to think that this is opposite of what they should do, since they're used to seeing the collar in the down position at all times. Afterwards, let the shirt hang for a few minutes to fully cool down. Ironing heats the fabric to a very high relative temperature, and the "flatness" actually sets in during the cooldown phase, so wearing it immediately could negate some of the hard work you just put into ironing it in the first place. Pants There's a reason people say "press" instead of "iron" for pants. Even though you'll still be using an iron, it's gentle pressure and steam that are going to do the work, not so much the motion and heat of the iron itself. If you've lost your main crease, finding it again is easy. Just lay the pants flat on the ironing board, and line up the seams of the leg to match. The crease is as far from those seams as the fabric goes. The crease should go all the way up the leg, stopping at about six inches below the waist. If there are pleats, then the crease can go all the way to the pleat. Always set the front crease first.

If you've pressed in a crease, the pants should hang by the waistband for at least an hour or two to set. If you don't put creases in your pants, don't worry about it! Just give them a few minutes to cool. Skirts For most skirts, it's as simple as starting at the top and working your way down. An exception would be for skirts that flare out suddenly at the bottom, with what are called "flounces." For flounced skirts, you'd want to start at the bottom, and iron each flounce first, then work your way up toward the waist. Basically, skirts are just plain easy—you just need to be careful about the fabric. Use the Right Heat for the Right Fabrics Fabrics like silk and polyester both need special attention, because it doesn't take much to ruin them with an iron. For either one, make sure you're always using the lowest setting your iron has. Though it's not required, you should also use a barrier cloth made of linen (something like baking paper also works pretty well). Linen is used instead of cotton because it doesn't shed lint, and it's very breathable—which allows steam to pass through it.

Advertisement Sponsored Use the medium setting for wool and rayon, while keeping the iron set to high heat for cotton and linen. If you're unsure about the fabric type you're about to iron, go one step below just to be safe. If the wrinkles aren't coming out, then you can try lightly ironing on a higher setting. Getting Wrinkles Out in a Pinch (Without an Iron) Sometimes you just don't have time to sit and actually iron something, or you might not even have an iron readily available and just can't find one. In those cases, there are a couple of tricks that can get you by without much of a headache. Advertisement Use the Shower: As funny as it sounds, hanging your clothes up directly outside the shower curtain or door while running hot water is actually a very easy way to get rid of most of the wrinkles in your clothing. The only problem with this method is that clothes can get soaked pretty easily with one wrong splash, and creases that were there on purpose will likely disappear soon afterwards.

Water Spritzing: Using a spray bottle is already a trick used during ironing to help get steam deeper into fabric, but if you don't have an iron around and need to get rid of some serious wrinkles, just using the water itself can help you out immensely. The best way to do something like this would be to also make use of something flat and heavy, like a phone book. Spray some water on the wrinkled area, rub it in gently, and try to flatten it by pressing the book down over it on a flat table. Don't hold it too long, though, or you may be causing a whole new set of wrinkles near by. Use the Dryer: If you've got a good half hour to spare, you can spray heavy amounts of water on the wrinkled item, and throw it in the dryer for a quick and hot tumble. The trick here is to pull it out of the dryer while it's still hot—then either put it on or hang it up immediately. Nearly all the wrinkles can be taken out of a single item this way.

Gear from Kinja Deals How to Iron Clothes - Ironing Clothes Help Search How to Iron Clothes - Ironing Clothes Help If you are looking for instructions on How to Iron Clothes, then you have come to the right place! Most people do not enjoy ironing clothes. In fact, it is widely considered to be an unavoidable chore by most. However, the reluctance of many to iron clothes is simply caused by a failure of understanding how to iron clothes properly. Learning the right steps to ironing clothes should make the process a bit easier for you. Before you ever begin to iron, plug the iron in, adjust it to the correct setting, and allow it to preheat. You will know your iron is ready for use if it sizzles when you spray a bit of water on it. Locate the tag on the garment you are preparing to iron. It will provide you with information about the material. Some clothes, you will find, should not be ironed. Others have a very low tolerance for heat, so you'll have to iron them at a gentle setting. Use high heat for cotton and linen. Cotton mixes and wool are ironed on a medium level. Use a low setting for silk, nylon, polyester, and other like fabrics.

If you are using a steam iron, make sure there is the proper amount of water inside. When you actually begin to iron, take your time to ensure the garment has been stretched flat across the ironing board. This will save you some time in terms of re-ironing wrinkles that you put in. As you iron, make sure to iron clothing evenly with smooth, careful strokes. Always remember to keep the iron moving. Stopping at any point could burn your clothing. How to Iron Shirts Start the process by ironing the collar. Stretch the back of it across the flat surface of the board. Run the iron over the back of the collar several times until you are sure it is correctly pressed. Turn the shirt over and handle the front of the collar. Move to the sleeves of the garment. You need to be sure to iron the back of the sleeves first, then move to the front of the sleeves. Start by stretching the larger part of the sleeves across the point of the ironing board. Iron all the way around the back of the sleeves, then move it toward the sleeve front until you have ironed the circumference of the sleeve. Stretch the lower back of the sleeve across the large, flat surface of the ironing board. Iron toward the cuffs.

Flip the shirt over and do the front, making sure to take careful, short strokes. When you get ready to handle the rest of the shirt, lay it as flat as possible on the ironing board. Work from one side to the other slowly smoothing out the wrinkled spots as you go. Hang the shirt directly after you finish ironing. Be sure to button the top and center buttons. How to Iron Dresses Begin by stretching the skirt portion of the dress across the point of the ironing board. If you are working with pleats, start at the bottom and work toward the top. Work your way around the skirt with strong, fast strokes. If the top of the dress won't stretch across the point of the ironing board, smooth it as flat as possible across the large, flat surface of the board. Start with the back and work your way to the front. On each side, be sure to work from the top down. Hang the dress as soon as possible after you iron it. Try not to wear the garment for a few hours, as it will be more prone to wrinkling again once you've heated the fibers. How to Iron Pants Turn the pants inside out. Begin with the top. Iron the circumference of the waistband.

Move toward the pockets. Be sure to iron both sides of the pockets. Iron the fly, then the seams of the pants, then the hems. Follow that order carefully, and use smooth, quick strokes. Turn the pants so the correct side is facing out. hook the waistline of the pants around the arrow shaped edge of the board. Use the iron to press out the wrinkles of the top front part of your pants. Put the pants legs parallel to the board, with both of them headed in the same direction. Iron each leg without damaging the current creases. Iron the cuffs, and hang the pants. Ironing clothes is really a delicate process. The iron produces so much heat that if you are not sure how to iron clothes, you should really get educated on the process before you start. It's not as simple as flopping a shirt on an ironing board. It takes effort to learn how to iron like a professional. For some people it takes a long time, but if you learn how to iron, you can cut the time you spend ironing. on Wednesday, 19 November 2014.

Set your iron to synthetics and iron the synthetics pile, increase temperature to the cotton setting for your ‘cottons’ pile etc. By doing so, you will slowly increase the heat of the iron and will not need to wait for it to cool down. This minimises the risk of ironing garments using too hot a temperature. 6. Avoid ironing over the top of sharp objects like zips or buttons How to avoid shine and iron marks: 1. Use a well padded ironing board (especially for wool) 2. Iron inside out whenever possible. Always iron delicate fabrics, inside out on a low temperature setting. 3.

Before ironing, check garment label and follow manufacturer’s instructions. If instructions do not exist, start with a low-heat setting and test by ironing a small area, then gradually increase heat. Sort garments by fabric type. Iron articles requiring a low-temperature setting first, then gradually work up the temperature range. When changing from a high-temperature setting to a lower setting, allow 5 minutes for temperature change. When steam ironing, use long, slow passes over the fabric for steam to penetrate fabric and allow the heat off the soleplate to dry any moisture.

If the garment is lined, use a low heat setting. Ensure zippers are closed and flaps are flat. Iron over flaps, holding the garment taut. Spray starch makes the job easier and helps to press in crisp creases. Ironing Shirts Use these ironing tips to press shirts to crisp, professional look.

To remove creases, shift the double layer of sleeve fabric and iron out. Iron body of garment, from half of the front around the back, then second half of front. If your shirt does not open, slip over end of ironing board and iron front and back in turn. Ironing Pants Use these ironing tips to press pants and trousers to creased perfection. Begin with the waistband and inseam area, then pockets and cuffs.

Pull waistband on pointy end of the board, as if you’re “dressing” the ironing board. Iron upper-front part of the pants, including the waistband. Place pants parallel to ironing board lengthwise so both legs are facing the same direction. Iron each leg by moving the iron back and forth along the pant leg. Take cuff of the leg and bring it over towards the waistband to iron the inner part of the leg. Repeat these 2 steps for the second leg. Hang pants up when ironing is completed, either by the waistband or by the cuffs, or on a shirt hanger, by folding them in half and maintaining the creases.
